Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing is a series of life simulation games developed by Nintendo, in which the player interacts with anthropomorphic animal characters as a human avatar. The series has collaborated with several Sanrio universes, including My Melody, in three of its games.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo
The introduction of Sanrio and My Melody content in the series was in the Welcome amiibo update to the Nintendo 3DS entry, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The Sanrio Collaboration Series amiibo cards were launched alongside this update, which let the player invite Sanrio-themed villagers to their town's campground. Once invited to the campground, the player can order special items themed around the villager's corresponding Sanrio character, and ask the villager to move into their town. My Melody is represented by a deer named Chelsea, and the My Melody-themed items are classified under the My Melody Series.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
This mobile entry in the series has seen two Sanrio events, the first of which being in 2019, and the second in 2021. In addition to many Sanrio items, the six Sanrio villagers from Welcome amiibo, including Chelsea, were able to be encountered during these events. Unlike Welcome amiibo and New Horizons, Pocket Camp also features items based on Kuromi.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The Nintendo Switch entry in the series initially featured minor support for the Sanrio Collaboration Series amiibo cards in the form of obtainable posters, but their corresponding villagers and items later returned in version 1.9.0. The amiibo cards saw their first release in North America alongside the release of this update.
